EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of coal mining in the 1970s. In the center stands Herbert Skeels, a seasoned power loader at Eppleton Colliery in Co. Durham. At 46 years old, he exudes strength and resilience that can only be acquired through decades of hard labor underground. Known affectionately as "Herble" by his comrades, this dedicated miner has devoted an impressive 31 years to this demanding profession, with over two-thirds of his career spent at Eppleton. The lines etched on his weathered face tell stories of countless hours spent deep within the earth's belly. The image showcases not just one man but represents an entire community bound together by their shared occupation. These miners are more than just workers; they are brothers united by a common purpose - extracting coal from the depths to fuel industries above ground. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but feel admiration for these men who toil away tirelessly in dangerous conditions for our benefit. Their unwavering commitment is a testament to their character and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those working behind-the-scenes to keep society running smoothly. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a tribute to all coal miners who have played an integral role in shaping our industrial landscape throughout history.
